Michael has always had a hard time meeting other people. Not because he's shy or because he doesn't want to. No, his disability is the cause of this involuntary isolation. You see, when Michael served as a marine years ago he took some shrapnel to his right leg when a nearby grenade went off and ever since then his leg has been kicking forward wildly at random moments.

Unfortunately it happens much more often when he is nervous, surprised or shocked. When it does his leg starts kicking again and again and he never knows when it will stop. He has had to quit his job because of this as he kept kicking over tables, chairs and even kicking his coworkers. He has made the decision, at least for now, to stay single to spare any potential love interest from the problems that might arise from living with him because of it.
